The Latin word "fluid" can be broken down into its constituent parts: FLUID = FLU + UID > FLU + UIT (D>T). This decomposition reveals potential connections to the Albanian language. Albanian Roots 1. "UI" / "UJ" meaning water, as seen in Albanian words like "ujë" (water). 2. "F" indicating air blowing, possibly derived from the sound of exhaling air. 3. "LU" suggesting movement, as in Albanian words like "luj-leviz" (to move). Component Analysis - F'LU: movement in blowing or air flow - UID/UIT: water, a gender-specific form of Albanian language. Implications This etymological analysis suggests that the Latin word "fluid" might have roots in the Albanian language. The presence of distinct Albanian roots for water ("ujë") and movement ("lu") contrasts with Latin's use of "aqua" and "movere" for these concepts. Linguistic Connections Further exploration ...
The comparative method of etymology, which is a traditional approach in historical linguistics, has some weaknesses compared to my method. The comparative method primarily focuses on comparing words across languages, looking for similarities and cognates.
